The Bumpy Road of Economic Normalization
Guest Speaker: Eric Lascelles
Chief Economist, RBC Global Asset Management
The coming year promises to be bumpier than usual, replete with tightening
central banks, geopolitical flare ups and oil price aftershocks. Despite
this clutter, important healing appears to be occurring in the underlying
economy, and the developed world should broadly manage faster growth.
Emerging markets have more divergent prospects but are increasingly unified
in their embrace of economic reforms. Eric will address these issues and
more as he lays out the key economic and financial market themes around the
world in 2015.
